Married After Kids

Ep. 127: I Got Triggered and Here’s How I Handled It


Listen Later

The reality is we will always encounter triggers, even when we put in the work to eliminate them. That’s why this conversation is so important because we discuss how to manage triggers without negatively affecting our marriages. In this episode, we will discover how you can use triggers to strengthen your bond with your spouse and navigate them more effectively.

 

Tune in as we explore:

  • How the military (and our spouses) can trigger us

  • What it means to be triggered (and recognize our emotional and physical responses) 

  • Examples of negative reactions to triggers and the brain's role in justifying behavior

  • When to engage in a productive conversation with your spouse and prevent further damage from triggered responses

  • Three actionable steps to take when you encounter triggers, starting today
